I see the tech feudal overlords are now saying there’s no longer a need to learn programming because AI.
These are the same w*nkers who earlier said there’s no need to buy or keep physical media (books, music) because they wanted to sell you the same sh*t on-demand, only you never really owned it only leased it and sorry you have no rights and we f*cked you over.
F*ck them.
Learn programming.
We’ll need your skills when we’ve burned all this sh*t down and we’re rebuilding.
New #pico8 tool on my website
TheFontCircle
Did you know pico8 can use a custom font? I only just found out because its deep in the manual and requires a lot of raw data encoding. So I made a gui to directly poke around in font memory and then export the changes as either a file you can load back into the app or as a snippet of pico8 code to initialise the font in your own application.
All five games I released as my first year as indie are available in a bundle on itch. Get them all for cheap!

I've read a lot online about how "Y2K was overblown". As an engineer who worked like crazy in 1999 to correct our systems this drives me crazy.
Today I read about games going offline, watches getting frozen and airline tickets showing the wrong date.
Because of a leap year. Which happens every FOUR years (give or take).
Yeah Y2K was a once every 1000 year issue.
Isn't 2038 going to be fun.
